Answer:

The Great Wagon Road was the only road in America during colonial times connecting Pennsylvania with North Carolina and further with Georgia. It was massively used by settlers pulling south with the intention of colonizing the interior of the country. They were mainly German and Scottish-Irish immigrants, they also occupied these territories in the 18th century. Scots, Irish and English from the north were the largest group of immigrants from the British Isles before the American Revolution.
